Description

The provision is voluntary and will aim to move Participants into sustained
employment. The provision will deliver a range of support measures tailored to the needs of each Participant. The personalisation, breadth and flexibility of the provision will ensure that the barriers to employment faced by Participants are systematically identified, challenged and addressed. The flexible routeway will be delivered by Key Workers. The provision must always be Participant led but wherever possible activities should be linked to the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough LEP key growth sectors to increase the chances of Participants securing a clear pathway to sustained employment.

The provision will include In-Work Support which will be tailored to the need of the Participant to maximise the chances of work attained becoming sustained employment. The Provider must meet ESF specific requirements set by the European Commission and failure to comply can result in a high financial risk for both the Provider and DWP, as funds used inappropriately or for ineligible Participants or purposes and/or where
the ESF requirements have not been met are recoverable from Providers.
The Provider will use the Provider Referral and Payment (PRaP) system to receive their referrals and to record claimant activity. The Provider will therefore need to have met relevant security requirements when contracts go live.

This contract will be for the use of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), its Executive Agencies and those Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) sponsored by DWP. Further information including a list of such Agencies and Public Bodies can be viewed by selecting 'Ministerial Departments' on the Departmental website.
